You’ll no doubt have a choice of steering wheels.

Because just two dozen isn’t really a lot.

I assume the the K7 and K9 are still being manufactured for the Korean domestic market. Any other markets that are still into sedans?

The EI are in the correct order if you look THROUGH the rusted out door.

I luv the 510 wagon. But I absolutely would not have painted the pillars. Robs a little of the car’s classic soul, IMHO.

The Topaz was definitely more successful...if you were up for the Lincoln Continental roofline.

Would absolutely park next to my 1938 Delahaye 135M Figoni Roadster.

Though counterintuitively they didn’t black out the bizarrely shaped D-pillar to complete the “floating roof” look.

Nah. No. Nope. The 2-door post is underappreciated.

In the video, I thought the rider potentially looked cramped. I’m not a motorcycle person ... and never really thought about whether there’s a way to adjust a motorcycle to your specific dimensions. Like can you adjust seat height by adjusting the rear spring/shock forcing the rear swing up or down in it’s neutral

Exterior styling is frumpy and dated. Especially the chrome doodle. The current GC has a recognizable profile that they should have worked harder to preserve. My first thought was...Toyota Highlander. Which is sad.

They can be disabled!  But then you bash you head into it every time you exit the car.

Aaron’s working a theme, for sure. I would waste a lot of time on his facebook page

I wanted to buy this exact wagon in red. But I lived in Portland, Oregon — land of Subaru Super Fans — at the time so there was no haggling on these stylish wagons. 1500 to 2k dealer mark up! And they would not come off it.

But recorded history only goes back around 7,000 years. Human language, roughly 35,000 years. So I’m not sure who really focused on mapping the stars 100,000 years ago.

I don’t see the need to have the windshield so far back given the electric drive train. But all of that is part of it’s charm. This tweak is probably more practical/realistic packaging but a lot less charming.

But that really was the KIA (and Hyundai) design philosophy at that point. I’m not sure that was the wrong strategy for them at that point. Not objectionable, basic, cheap isn’t a bad place to start. Thank God that they realized it wasn’t the long term play and invested in design and designers.

Perfect solution if you have a white lab, small pig or despicable mother-in-law.

Roads would be safer if this tech was installed in all cars.

As my mother-in-law always advised, protect your principal.
